With novel applications of these methods and recognition of         their individual strengths and weaknesses, one can significantly         enhance today's light-emitting diode (LED), display,         image-sensor and solar cell technologies.         Background on LEDs

Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are used in many applications, including automotive lighting, incandescent bulb replacements, and as backlights for displays. Red LEDs are typically made on Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) substrates, and include quantum wells constructed of various materials such as AlInGaP and GaInP. Blue and green LEDs are typically made on Sapphire or Silicon Carbide (SiC) or bulk Gallium Nitride (GaN) substrates, and include quantum wells constructed of various materials such as GaN and InGaN.

A white LED for lighting and display applications can be constructed by either using a blue LED coated with phosphor (called phosphor-coated LED or pcLED) or by combining light from red, blue, and green LEDs (called RGB LED). RGB LEDs are typically constructed by placing red, blue, and green LEDs side-by-side. While RGB LEDs are more energy-efficient than pcLEDs, they are less efficient in mixing red, blue and green colors to form white light. They also are much more costly than pcLEDs. To tackle issues with RGB LEDs, several proposals have been made.

One RGB LED proposal from Hong Kong University is described in “Design of vertically stacked polychromatic light emitting diodes”, Optics Express, June 2009 by K. Hui, X. Wang, et al (“Hui”). It involves stacking red, blue, and green LEDs on top of each other after individually packaging each of these LEDs. While this solves light mixing problems, this RGB-LED is still much more costly than a pcLED solution since three LEDs for red, blue, and green color need to be packaged. A pcLED, on the other hand, requires just one LED to be packaged and coated with phosphor.

Another RGB LED proposal from Nichia Corporation is described in “Phosphor Free High-Luminous-Efficiency White Light-Emitting Diodes Composed of InGaN Multi-Quantum Well”, Japanese Journal of Applied Physics, 2002 by M. Yamada, Y. Narukawa, et al. (“Yamada”). It involves constructing and stacking red, blue and green LEDs of GaN-based materials on a sapphire or SiC substrate. However, red LEDs are not efficient when constructed with GaN-based material systems, and that hampers usefulness of this implementation. It is not possible to deposit defect-free AlInGaP/InGaP for red LEDs on the same substrate as GaN based blue and green LEDs, due to a mismatch in thermal expansion co-efficient between the various material systems.

Yet another RGB-LED proposal is described in “Cascade Single chip phosphor-free while light emitting diodes”, Applied Physics Letters, 2008 by X. Guo, G. Shen, et al. (“Guo”). It involves bonding GaAs based red LEDs with GaN based blue-green LEDs to produce white light. Unfortunately, this bonding process requires 600° C. temperatures, causing issues with mismatch of thermal expansion co-efficients and cracking. Another publication on this topic is “A trichromatic phosphor-free white light-emitting diode by using adhesive bonding scheme”, Proc. SPIE, Vol. 7635, 2009 by D. Chuai, X. Guo, et al. (“Chuai”). It involves bonding red LEDs with green-blue LED stacks. Bonding is done at the die level after dicing, which is more costly than a wafer-based approach.

U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/130,824 describes various stacked RGB LED devices. It also briefly mentions a method for construction of a stacked LED where all layers of the stacked LED are transferred using lift-off with a temporary carrier and Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) to semiconductor bonding. This method has several issues for constructing a RGB LED stack. First, it is difficult to manufacture a lift-off with a temporary carrier of red LEDs for producing a RGB LED stack, especially for substrates larger than 2 inch. This is because red LEDs are typically constructed on non-transparent GaAs substrates, and lift-off with a temporary carrier is done by using an epitaxial lift-off process. Here, the thin film to be transferred typically sits atop a “release-layer” (eg. AlAs), this release layer is removed by etch procedures after the thin film is attached to a temporary substrate. Scaling this process to 4 inch wafers and bigger is difficult. Second, it is very difficult to perform the bonding of ITO to semiconductor materials of a LED layer at reasonable temperatures, as described in the patent application Ser. No. 12/130,824.

It is therefore clear that a better method for constructing RGB LEDs will be helpful. Since RGB LEDs are significantly more efficient than pcLEDs, they can be used as replacements of today's phosphor-based LEDs for many applications, provided a cheap and effective method of constructing RGB LEDs can be invented.

Background on Image-Sensors:

Image sensors are used in applications such as cameras. Red, blue, and green components of the incident light are sensed and stored in digital format. CMOS image sensors typically contain a photodetector and sensing circuitry. Almost all image sensors today have both the photodetector and sensing circuitry on the same chip. Since the area consumed by the sensing circuits is high, the photodetector cannot see the entire incident light, and image capture is not as efficient.

To tackle this problem, several researchers have proposed building the photodetectors and the sensing circuitry on separate chips and stacking them on top of each other. A publication that describes this method is “Megapixel CMOS image sensor fabricated in three-dimensional integrated circuit technology”, Intl. Solid State Circuits Conference 2005 by Suntharalingam, V., Berger, R., et al. (“Suntharalingam”). These proposals use through-silicon via (TSV) technology where alignment is done in conjunction with bonding. However, pixel size is reaching the 1 μm range, and successfully processing TSVs in the 1 μm range or below is very difficult. This is due to alignment issues while bonding. For example, the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) suggests that the 2-4 um TSV pitch will be the industry standard until 2012. A 2-4 μm pitch TSV will be too big for a sub-1 μm pixel. Therefore, novel techniques of stacking photodetectors and sensing circuitry are required.

A possible solution to this problem is given in “Setting up 3D Sequential Integration for Back-Illuminated CMOS Image Sensors with Highly Miniaturized Pixels with Low Temperature Fully-depleted SOI Transistors,” IEDM, p.1-4 (2008) by P. Coudrain et al. (“Coudrain”). In the publication, transistors are monolithically integrated on top of photodetectors. Unfortunately, transistor process temperatures reach 600° C. or more. This is not ideal for transistors (that require a higher thermal budget) and photodetectors (that may prefer a lower thermal budget).

Background on Displays:

Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) can be classified into two types based on manufacturing technology utilized: (1) Large-size displays that are made of amorphous/polycrystalline silicon thin-film-transistors (TFTs), and (2) Microdisplays that utilize single-crystal silicon transistors. Microdisplays are typically used where very high resolution is needed, such as camera/camcorder view-finders, projectors and wearable computers.

Microdisplays are made in semiconductor fabs with 200 mm or 300 mm wafers. They are typically constructed with LCOS (Liquid-Crystal-on-Silicon) Technology and are reflective in nature. An exception to this trend of reflective microdisplays is technology from Kopin Corporation (U.S. Pat. No. 5,317,236, filed December 1991). This company utilizes transmittive displays with a lift-off layer transfer scheme. Transmittive displays may be generally preferred for various applications.

While lift-off layer transfer schemes are viable for transmittive displays, they are frequently not used for semiconductor manufacturing due to yield issues. Therefore, other layer transfer schemes will be helpful. However, it is not easy to utilize other layer transfer schemes for making transistors in microdisplays. For example, application of “smart-cut” layer transfer to attach monocrystalline silicon transistors to glass is described in “Integration of Single Crystal Si TFTs and Circuits on a Large Glass Substrate”, IEDM 2009 by Y. Takafuji, Y. Fukushima, K. Tomiyasu, et al. (“Takafuji”). Unfortunately, hydrogen is implanted through the gate oxide of transferred transistors in the process, and this degrades performance. Process temperatures are as high as 600° C. in this paper, and this requires costly glass substrates. Several challenges therefore need to be overcome for efficient layer transfer, and require innovation.

Background on Solar Cells:

Solar cells can be constructed of several materials such as, for example, silicon and compound semiconductors. The highest efficiency solar cells are typically multi junction solar cells that are constructed of compound semiconductor materials. These multi junction solar cells are typically constructed on a germanium substrate, and semiconductors with various band-gaps are epitaxially grown atop this substrate to capture different portions of the solar spectrum.

There are a few issues with standard multi junction solar cells. Since multiple junctions are grown epitaxially above a single substrate (such as Germanium) at high temperature, materials used for different junctions are restricted to those that have lattice constants and thermal expansion co-efficients close to those of the substrate. Therefore, the choice of materials used to build junctions for multi junction solar cells is limited. As a result, most multi junction solar cells commercially available today cannot capture the full solar spectrum. Efficiency of the solar cell can be improved if a large band of the solar spectrum is captured. Furthermore, multi junction solar cells today suffer from high cost of the substrate above which multiple junctions are epitaxially grown. Methods to build multi junction solar cells that tackle both these issues will be helpful.

A method of making multi junction solar cells by mechanically bonding two solar cells, one with a Germanium junction and another with a compound semiconductor junction is described in “Towards highly efficient 4-terminal mechanical photovoltaic stacks”, III-Vs Review, Volume 19, Issue 7, September-October 2006 by Giovanni Flamand, Jef Poortmans (“Flamand”). In this work, the authors make the compound semiconductor junctions on a Germanium substrate epitaxially. They then etch away the entire Germanium substrate after bonding to the other substrate with the Germanium junction. The process uses two Germanium substrates, and is therefore expensive.

Techniques to create multi junction solar cells with layer transfer have been described in “Wafer bonding and layer transfer processes for 4-junction high efficiency solar cells,” Photovoltaic Specialists Conference, 2002. Conference Record of the Twenty Ninth IEEE, vol., no., pp. 1039-1042, 19-24 May 2002 by Zahler, J. M.; Fontcuberta i Morral, A.; Chang-Geun Ahn; Atwater, H. A.; Wanlass, M. W.; Chu, C. and Iles, P. A. An anneal is used for ion-cut purposes, and this anneal is typically done at temperatures higher than 350-400° C. (if high bond strength is desired). When that happens, cracking and defects can be produced due to mismatch of co-efficients of thermal expansion between various layers in the stack. Furthermore, semiconductor layers are bonded together, and the quality of this bond not as good as oxide-to-oxide bonding, especially for lower process temperatures.

Background on CCD Sensors:

Image sensors based on Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) technology has been around for several decades. The CCD technology relies on a collect and shift scheme, wherein charges are collected in individual cells according to the luminosity of the light falling on each of them, then the charges are sequentially shifted towards one edge of the sensor where readout circuits read the sequence of charges one at a time.

The advantage of CCD technology is it has better light sensitivity since almost the entire CCD cell area is dedicated to light collecting, and the control and readout circuits are all on one edge not blocking the light. On the other hand, in a CMOS sensor, the photodiodes in each cell have to share space with the control and readout circuits adjacent to them, and so their size and light sensitivity are therefore limited.

The main issue with CCD technology is this sequential shifting of image information from cell to cell is slow and limits the speed and cell density of CCD image sensors. A potential solution is to put the readout circuits directly under each CCD cell, so that the information is read in parallel rather than in time sequence, thus removing the shifting delay entirely.

Background on High Dynamic Range (HDR) Sensors:

Ever since the advent of commercial digital photography in the 1990s, achieving High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging has been a goal for most camera manufacturers in their image sensors. The idea is to use various techniques to compensate for the lower dynamic range of image sensors relative to the human eye. The concept of HDR however, is not new. Combining multiple exposures of a single image to achieve a wide range of luminosity was actually pioneered in the 1850s by Gustave Le Gray to render seascapes showing both the bright sky and the dark sea. This was necessary to produce realistic photographic images as the film used at that time had exptremely low dynamic range compared to the human eye.

In digital cameras, the typical approach is to capture images using exposure bracketing, and then combining them into a single HDR image. The issue with this is that multiple exposures are performed over some period of time, and if there is movement of the camera or target during the time of the exposures, the final HDR image will reflect this by loss of sharpness. Moreover, multiple images may lead to large data in storage devices. Other methods use software algorithms to extract HDR information from a single exposure, but as they can only process information that is recordable by the sensor, there is a permanent loss of some details.

Over the past 40 years, there has been a dramatic increase in functionality and performance of Integrated Circuits (ICs). This has largely been due to the phenomenon of “scaling”; i.e., component sizes within ICs have been reduced (“scaled”) with every successive generation of technology. There are two main classes of components in Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) ICs, namely transistors and wires. With “scaling”, transistor performance and density typically improve and this has contributed to the previously-mentioned increases in IC performance and functionality. However, wires (interconnects) that connect together transistors degrade in performance with “scaling”. The situation today is that wires dominate the performance, functionality and power consumption of ICs.

3D stacking of semiconductor devices or chips is one avenue to tackle the wire issues. By arranging transistors in 3 dimensions instead of 2 dimensions (as was the case in the 1990s), the transistors in ICs can be placed closer to each other. This reduces wire lengths and keeps wiring delay low.

There are many techniques to construct 3D stacked integrated circuits or chips including:

Through-silicon via (TSV) technology: Multiple layers of transistors (with or without wiring levels) can be constructed separately. Following this, they can be bonded to each other and connected to each other with through-silicon vias (TSVs).

Monolithic 3D technology: With this approach, multiple layers of transistors and wires can be monolithically constructed. Some monolithic 3D and 3DIC approaches are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 8,273,610, 8,298,875, 8,362,482, 8,378,715, 8,379,458, 8,450,804, 8,557,632, 8,574,929, 8,581,349, 8,642,416, 8,669,778, 8,674,470, 8,687,399, 8,742,476, 8,803,206, 8,836,073, 8,902,663, 8,994,404, 9,023,688, 9,029,173, 9,030,858, 9,117,749, 9,142,553, 9,219,005, 9,385,058, 9,406,670, 9,460,978, 9,509,313, 9,640,531, 9,691,760, 9,711,407, 9,721,927, 9,799,761, 9,871,034, 9,953,870, 9,953,994, 10,014,292, 10,014,318; and U.S. Patent Application Publications and applications, Ser.

This process of constructing RGB LEDs could include several steps that occur in a sequence from Step (A) to Step (S). Many of them share common characteristics, features, modes of operation, etc. When the same reference numbers are used in different drawing figures, they are used to indicate analogous, similar or identical structures to enhance the understanding of the present invention by clarifying the relationships between the structures and embodiments presented in the various diagrams—particularly in relating analogous, similar or identical functionality to different physical structures.

NuDisplay Technology:

In displays and microdisplays (small size displays where optical magnification is needed), transistors need to be formed on glass or plastic substrates. These substrates typically cannot withstand high process temperatures (e.g., >400° C.). Layer transfer can be advantageously used for constructing displays and microdisplays as well, since it may enable transistors to be processed on these substrates at <400° C. Various embodiments of transistors constructed on glass substrates are described in this patent application. These transistors constructed on glass substrates could form part of liquid crystal displays (LCDs) or other types of displays. It will be clear to those skilled in the art based on the present disclosure that these techniques can also be applied to plastic substrates.

FIGS. 1A-1G describe a process for forming recessed channel single crystal (or monocrystalline) transistors on glass substrates at a temperature approximately less than 400° C. for display and microdisplay applications. This process could include several steps that occur in a sequence from Step (A) to Step (G). Many of these steps share common characteristics, features, modes of operation, etc. When identical reference numbers are used in different drawing figures, they are used to indicate analogous, similar or identical structures to enhance the understanding of the present invention by clarifying the relationships between the structures and embodiments presented in the various diagrams—particularly in relating analogous, similar or identical functionality to different physical structures.

Step (A) is illustrated in FIG. 1A. A silicon wafer 2202 is taken and a n+ region 2204 is formed by ion implantation. Following this formation, a layer of p− Silicon 2206 is epitaxially grown. An oxide layer 2210 is then deposited. Following this deposition, an anneal is performed to activate dopants in various layers. It will be clear to one skilled in the art based on the present disclosure that various other procedures can be used to get the structure shown in FIG. 22A. Step (B) is illustrated in FIG. 1B. Hydrogen is implanted into the structure shown in FIG. 22A at a certain depth indicated by 2212. Alternatively, Helium can be used for this purpose. Various elements in FIG. 1B, such as 2202, 2204, 2006, and 2210 have been described previously. Step (C) is illustrated in FIG. 1C. A glass substrate 2214 is taken and a silicon oxide layer 2216 is deposited atop it at compatible temperatures. Step (D) is illustrated in FIG. 1D. Various elements in FIG. 1D, such as 2202, 2204, 2206, 2210, 2214, and 2216 have been described previously. The structure shown in FIG. 1B is flipped and bonded to the structure shown in FIG. 1C using oxide-to-oxide bonding of layers 2210 and 2216. Step (E) is illustrated in FIG. 1E. The structure shown in FIG. 1D is cleaved at the hydrogen plane 2212 of FIG. 1D. A CMP is then done to planarize the surface and yield the n+ Si layer 2218.

Using etch techniques, part of the n+ Silicon layer from FIG. 1F and optionally p− Silicon layer from FIG. 1F are etched. After this a thin gate dielectric is deposited, after which a gate dielectrode is deposited. The gate dielectric and gate electrode are then polished away to form the gate dielectric layer 2224 and gate electrode layer 2222. The n+ Silicon layers 2228 and 2226 form the source and drain regions of the transistors while the p− Silicon region after this step is indicated by 2230. Contacts and other parts of the display/microdisplay are then fabricated. It can be observed that during the whole process, the glass substrate substantially always experiences temperatures less than 400° C., or even lower. This is because the crystalline silicon can be transferred atop the glass substrate at a temperature less than 400° C., and dopants are pre-activated before layer transfer to glass.

FIG. 2A-2I describes a process of forming both nMOS and pMOS transistors with single-crystal silicon on a glass substrate at temperatures less than 400° C., and even lower. Ion-cut technology (which is a smart layer transfer technology) is used. While the process flow described is shown for both nMOS and pMOS on a glass substrate, it could also be used for just constructing nMOS devices or for just constructing pMOS devices. This process could include several steps that occur in a sequence from Step (A) to Step (H). Many of these steps share common characteristics, features, modes of operation, etc. When identical reference numbers are used in different drawing figures, they are used to indicate analogous, similar or identical structures to enhance the understanding of the present invention by clarifying the relationships between the structures and embodiments presented in the various diagrams—particularly in relating analogous, similar or identical functionality to different physical structures.

Using a temporary bonding adhesive, the oxide layer is bonded to a temporary carrier wafer 2320. An example of a temporary bonding adhesive is a polyimide that can be removed by shining a laser. An example of a temporary carrier wafer is glass. Step (F) is illustrated in FIG. 2F. The structure shown in FIG. 2E is cleaved at the hydrogen plane using a mechanical force. Alternatively, an anneal could be used. Following this cleave, a CMP is done to planarize the surface. An oxide layer is then deposited. FIG. 2F shows the structure after all these steps are done, with the deposited oxide layer indicated as 2328. After the cleave, the p− Silicon region is indicated as 2322, the n− Silicon region is indicated as 2324, and the oxide isolation regions are indicated as 2326. Various other elements in FIG. 23F such as 2308, 2320, 2312, 2314, 2310, and 2316 have been described previously. Step (G) is illustrated in FIG. 2G. The structure shown in FIG. 2F is bonded to a glass substrate 2332 with an oxide layer 2330 using oxide-to-oxide bonding. Various elements in FIG. 2G such as 2308, 2326, 2322, 2324, 2312, 2314, and 2310 have been described previously. Oxide regions 2328 and 2330 are bonded together. The temporary carrier wafer from FIG. 2F is removed by shining a laser through it. A CMP process is then conducted to reach the surface of the gate electrode 2308. Thus, the structure may be illustrated by FIG. 2H. The oxide layer remaining is denoted as 2334. Step (H) is illustrated in FIG. 2I. Various elements in FIG. 2I such as 2312, 2314, 2328, 2330, 2332, 2334, 2326, 2324, and 2322 have been described previously. The dummy gate dielectric and dummy gate electrode are etched away in this step and a replacement gate dielectric 2336 and a replacement gate electrode 2338 are deposited and planarized with CMP. Examples of replacement gate dielectrics could be hafnium oxide or aluminum oxide while examples of replacement gate electrodes could be TiN or TaN or some other material. Contact formation, metallization and other steps for building a display/microdisplay are then conducted. It can be observed that after attachment to the glass substrate, no process step requires a processing temperature above 400° C.

This microdisplay is constructed using the ion-cut technology, a smart layer transfer technique.

The embodiments of this invention described in FIGS. 5-6 may enable novel implementations of “smart-lighting concepts” (also known as visible light communications) that are described in “Switching LEDs on and off to enlighten wireless communications”, EETimes, June 2010 by R. Colin Johnson. For these prior art smart lighting concepts, LED lights could be turned on and off faster than the eye can react, so signaling or communication of information with these LED lights is possible. An embodiment of this invention involves designing the displays/microdisplays described in FIGS. 5-6 to transmit information, by modulating wavelength of each pixel and frequency of switching each pixel on or off. One could thus transmit a high bandwidth through the visible light communication link compared to a LED, since each pixel could emit its own information stream, compared to just one information stream for a standard LED. The stacked RGB LED embodiment described in FIGS. 4A-4S of parent U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/274,161 issued as U.S. Pat. No. 9,197,804, incorporated herein by reference, could also provide an improved smart-light than prior art since it allows wavelength tunability besides the ability to turn the LED on and off faster than the eye can react.
